Cat fight! Dial up warning (also Big Cats are alot like house cats)

[TZ]

So I went on my yearly departmental outing to the Baltimore Zoo yesterday. It was fun and the animals were very active in the cool comfortable fall weather. The best part was watching two Leopards wrestle and play exactly the same way my two little kitties do at home.
First of all one of them was just sitting by the fence looking grumpy (even though I knew they were in a cage, still a little scary seeing a big snarling cat, I will admit)...


Then the other leopard in the cage came by--

They started grooming each other for about a minute, then just like my kitties at home it quickly turned into a biting wrestling match with someone playing too rough and pissing off the other cat who threatened to swat at them with an angry paw..




Finally, the "instigator" leaves while the other leopard lets him/her know that the biting wasn't appreciated..

That really was entertaining given that I see almost the exact same thing at home on a regular basis. But there was no spray bottle of water that could have broken up that cat fight for sure...:rofl:
I love cats, big and small. Such neat animals...:loveya:
